Poetry video project

Upper school students in Anne Glosky’s Modernism class completed an assignment in which they they combined images and music to create a video to accompany a range of poems. Students were asked to choose images and music that conveyed the themes and tones of the poem, then used desktop video editing software to combine their images and music with the text of the poem. Students also submitted a written analysis of their project in which they explained how their choices were related to their poem’s literary techniques.

A playlist of some of these videos is embedded below. Mouseover the top of the player to see the poem's title. You may also visit the playlist page online at YouTube.
